Hi everyone,

I'm writing this with a heavy heart, but also with hope in the kindness of others. After many months of struggling with severe exhaustion and anemia, my mom, Laurie Warner, was recently diagnosed with stage four renal (kidney) cancer. This diagnosis has changed our lives very quickly and in ways we never expected. Because of her illness and the treatments she now faces, she is no longer able to work and currently has no income.

My mom is one of the strongest, most caring, and happy people I know. She has always put others before herself, and asking for help does not come easily to her or to our family. But right now, she needs support more than ever. Fortunately, all her medical bills and medications have been covered, but everyday living expenses are difficult right now.

I am starting this GoFundMe to help cover her basic living costs. Any amount, no matter how much, would mean the world to us. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated. Your support, especially prayers and kind words give us strength during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my mom’s life and part of her support system. She has an amazing village of family and friends. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

With gratitude,

Tatum
